Bodycam footage shows the moment police responded to the home daycare of Amanda Hickey, a 48-year-old woman from Dunwoody, Georgia, after she called 911 about an unresponsive baby in 2021. The video depicts Dunwoody police and firefighters investigating the scene at Hickey's "Little Lovey Daycare" business, which she ran out of her home. Authorities later found security footage showing the caretaker placing the infant on their stomach, a practice that goes against safe sleep recommendations for infants.

Following the investigation, Hickey was charged with second-degree murder. The Dekalb County woman was subsequently sentenced to 30 years in prison and five years of probation. The Law&Crime Network's Sierra Gillespie provides details on the case, discussing the events captured in the bodycam footage and the legal consequences faced by the daycare owner.

hi, im Morgan Morgan of Morgan and Morgan and Morgan
@@sneedumfeedumFormerly known as Morgan and Morgan and Morgan and Morgan. You dirtbags!
@@sneedumfeedumwell hello there, Morgan & Morgan’s mother of Morgan & Morgan’s twice removed Morgan & Morgan’s father in law of Morgan & Morgan’s stepdad of Morgan & Morgan’s sister! How are you Morgan and Morgan?
Good afternoon, Morgan and Morgan Daycare.
Yes, we do have baby cages. No. No we don't put mattresses in our baby cages. Those are only put in our dog crates.
Ah, hire Morgan and Morgan, and get Joe Blow lawyer from your home town. 🙄 Sellouts.
The mother running to the ambulance gave me a knot in my throat, this is truly devastating.
Same here. I lost it.
I had to stop watching
It hurts knowing there is nobody capable of comforting her. Very tragic.
Me too I thought about this happening everyday I went to work I’m a sahm mom right now but even now I’m getting ready to go back to work and it will always be in the back of my mind what might happen at a daycare I hate living like this people are so evil while parents are just trying to work no body deserves this.
I was fighting tears watching Charlie being taken out the ambulance knowing the outcome 😭 I couldn't help but put myself in her shoes. I have 1 child and the thought of anything happening to him omg that would end me. She's not even phased getting arrested! Pure evil!
All daycares should have a live feed video monitoring system available for parents to view at any given time when their child is in their care. This is heartbreaking.
Parents should just raise their kids 🤷
@@xxxytheguy1296 can’t expect them to be there 24/7 and take care of them 😭😭😭
@@isrealx2680 then don't have kids 🤷
@isrealx2680 I raise my son. He has never been to daycare nor public school. It's my job, my responsibility to make sure my son grows up to be a decent human being capable of so much that most can't comprehend.
so you don't work to provide for your kids? who is providing for them?@@xxxytheguy1296
This is why a single person daycare should not, by law, be able to care for more than 3 babies at a time.
I use to work at a daycare, I wasn’t normally in the infant room for more than an hour but I could handle 4 on my own as an 18 year old.
I don’t think single daycares should exist though, there has to be 2+ people no exceptions. Taking care of children is mentally exhausting and taxing and daycares are notoriously known to have workers turn abusive.
There is a law in canada here
There is a true ratio of children in childcare. I believe the standard is 4 to 1...but, if that individual has children, the ratio may change...she was overwhelmed, clumsy, followed no rules in my opinion and just got plain lazy in my opinion!!! She might lay her own infants on their stomach, but it is not allowed in professional childcare!!!
Our state only allows 3 per adult.
I feel like this woman's actions were a little more deliberate than simply not being able to take care of all the kids at once.
This is EXACTLY why I retired and have been the only one to watch my 3 grandsons since birth. I worked in the criminal courtroom my entire career and saw cases just like this too many times. Swore when I had grandkids they would never have to go to daycare. My heart breaks for the Momma, I can’t even begin to imagine…glad she got 30 years!! 👏
I’m grateful that Justice was served for this baby boy, but unfortunately 30 years is NOTHING compared to the life that innocent baby could’ve/would’ve had…
God bless you !!! That’s amazing that your grandchildren are SAFE with you
Not all grandmothers are like you mam. Some would pretend they care and hurt the child because they don't loke their mom or dad.
I did they samething when my grandbabies were born. So my business and I'm a stay home grandma.
I stayed home with my babies because I trust NO ONE. Maybe my mom but daycare, never never ever
It’s crazy how calm she is… my child or not, I’d be puking and inconsolable.
Right?!!!!!!!!!!
Same.
Sameee
exactly
I’m sick just watching
that poor mother rushing to the ambulance....heartbreaking.
immediately interrupted by a lawyer ad.
@@bongwizard5256 ikr lmao shed a tear for Morgan & Morgan smh lmao
Yes 💔😢
Yeah after looking like she was asleep all day. No excuse to let someone watch your kid if you’re a stay at home mom
Or maybe she works from home tf? Most home jobs are taking call or making calls and that’s hard to do with a baby when you’re by yourself
This is why we need a federal maternity leave law in place for working mothers. Having to leave your child with strangers during infancy is not only not normal but inhumane and cruel. I can't imagine getting this phone call. This woman is the devil smh.
Same with me
Democrat laws want to kill children not protect them .democrats want to be on an island with minors not fight for your rights. They want you to have no rights. They want control of the curriculum and every aspect of your child’s life. Vote Trump. Save our youth.
Meh, mothers have their kids taken care of/baby sat until their 18 as a norm these days.
Danger doesn't endafter infant age
@mandelorean6243 it doesn't, my statement still remains. I'm only speaking to infancy.....of course more time is needed.
@@mandelorean6243 If your kid can't tell you when something happened you shouldn't leave them in daycare. There are too many evil people that will take advantage, and they're drawn to these places.
When that cop turned around with such confidence and said “felony murder and cruelty to children in the second degree” I got chills. I’m sorry this had to happen at all, but I’m also relieved she won’t be able to do it again.
Like wym why is she getting arrested a baby died ?
That shut hippie boy up really quick! lol
@essxo2885 tells us youre daft and naive without telling us.
She caused his death by ignoring safe sleep guidelines@@essxo2885
@essxo2885 from my understanding that's a valid question. Especially if he hasn't there. For all he knows he just thought it was a freak accident.
She didn’t start crying until she knew she had to face the parents. The fact that she wasn’t even the slightest bit upset prior to that is unbelievable
I am a RN with 30+ years experience, trained to keep my emotions in check. One thing I know with certainty is I would be inconsolable if this were me!!! This woman seemed unphased....cold as ice!!!
She even was heard laughing and bantering with officers on scene
@@melissafraser2190 yesss I caught that 😒😞
People respond to trauma differently, her behavior seems to be an indicator of some mental/emotional issues
It doesn’t seem they’re aware he’s passed yet with him being sent in the ambulance 😢😢😢
My mother ran a successful daycare out of our home in the 80s and she sadly had a baby die under her care from SIDS My mother was inconsolable for months and has never been the same person since that day. she still goes to a therapist every week to deal with the guilt amongst other life traumas and it wasn’t her fault. This woman has no emotions at all. That’s scary to me.
Oh my what a heartbreaking story 💔
Did the Coroner confirm SIDS?
If in this vid was 1980, then there wouldn't be any cameras about. Thus it is possible (and likely true) that many daycare infant deaths were in fact caused by the daycare provider, its just that we don't know.
Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence
This means that without any evidence, then clearly we cannot accuse your Mother of doing anything to show guilt. But as soon as I hear daycare in the home! My concern is heightened dramatically. As a home (especially in the 80's) is not as ideal as a daycare business with multiple staff, and the whole building and grounds being specifically designed for a daycare facility.
Clearly this input by you does add some suspicion, as would the baby be alive if it were in a recognized daycare building?
I suppose we'll never truly know, but your Mother would know the real truth.
@@kimsland999 you’re asking if someone is lying about whether or not their mother killed an infant?
what is wrong with you @@kimsland999
Sounds like your mother needs to forgive herself. Sounds like she had no control over the situation meaning it was a devastating accident. I’m so sorry for her.
the way she was trembling when she had to show the officer the video footage just tells me everything i needed to know. what a vile, disgusting excuse of a caretaker
Such a poor woman. I hope she gets out soon. She didn't mean it
@@noquestions9529what’s wrong with you?
@@noquestions9529sure she didn’t! Just like she didn’t “mean” to throw a 6mo old baby! People that think like you are just as disgusting as the ones who actually abuse children/babies!!!
That poor mother running to the ambulance grabbing her chest literally gave me chills and instant nausea. 😢 how beyond heart wrenching.
Her holding a child while she's being questioned about another child's death in her care is insane to me. I'm heartbroken for that mother.
@usworkforceco.7482because they don't know it was her fault yet so why would they?
@@rmcar549because critical thinking has left the chat. Thank God some people like yourself still use it!
@@rmcar549 more like they are short staffed. no one wants to work for daycares, speaking as a former employee
because if it was actually sids, which it well could have been, then it's nobody's fault@usworkforceco.7482
Innocent until proven guilty. We know she’s guilty now but at the time this could’ve just been an accident. I just don’t know how you leave a child unattended for two hours. What on earth was so important? Just soulless…
She seems so calm while all this is happening. I would have been devastated if anything happened to a child I was responsible for.
Then when she has to " tell the other parents" she cries and falls apart classic murdery actions. 😔 😟
@@rosarioortiz-jacinto1596 Yes! Almost like taking some responsibility and speaking to the parents is what had her in tears. Not the fact that a baby died in her care!
@@lunarbluep that was one of the worst parts.. when u finally see her act out of sorts, when she realizes she has to tell ppl.. she feels sorry for herself that she needs to do that, and isn’t even asking on the condition of the baby she’s supposed to really care for, if not love ❤️
She seems very cold, just acting as some minor incident
You have to keep a calm head; but it was very telling when she went to pieces having to tell the other parents. If I found a baby dead in my care I would be very distressed and distraught.
She had too many infants simultaneously, imo. The lines of cribs looked so strange.
Law dictates 1 - 4 ratio for children under 2 this was not a licensed daycare
Weird that the daughter instantly asks if her mom is in trouble.
I mean there is like 20 cops at your house…someone is clearly in trouble !
She asked first if her mom was okay
Yeah weird… their home is crawling with completely weird for the daughter to ask that 🙄🙄in case you’re confused that was sarcasm
How? There's a ton of cops there? What do you mean?
When she found out the baby had passed, no tears. Having to tell the parents what happened and realizing her business and life is ruined, waterfalls of tears. No remorse, such an awful human being
Notice how she leaned away from her husband trying to hug her. Subconsciously she knows she doesn't deserve that type of empathy. She's also not really surprised when the cuffs are being slapped on. As an innocent person, you'd have a different reaction in my opinion. Sad case.
Just a typical woman. No less.
@@SoulforSaleYou’ve been hurt quite a bit huh 💀
@@Aylii1 enough to know better
She panicked because she knew she was caught.
As a parent, I cannot imagine what it was like for them to drive home from the hospital without their baby. Praying for them ☦️
Interestingly enough the mom seems pretty calm when the officer is explaining how he died 🤔
I'm sure she was probably in shock. You feel numb to everything for years. I wish nobody had to ever know this pain when the fog lifts. It's as if it only just happened all over again 😢
When you lose a child, everything feels like you're in a dream like state. A nightmare more like it.
And everything is a blur, your hearing becomes muffled. Similar to the reaction played in movies right after a massive explosion or traumatic event. Your emotions are somewhat, tucked away in the midst of it all, while you're trying to gather and give vital information to the first responders, police, and doctors. There is a sort of hope that your child may miraculously come to, and none of it is real. The ride home from the hospital is brutal. But arriving to your quiet, empty home is the worst pain any parent could ever feel. You break down once alone, and everything is calm. All emotions hit you at once, and you break down. Feeling like your heart has been ripped from your chest.
Every parent is going to react differently, with some being a complete wreck from the start. While others are able to hold it back until a later time. It's the body's natural response to trauma, where it helps you to remain aware enough to get through whatever danger you're in. It a fight, flight, or flea response. And some have one or the other. It is unfair to judge a persons reaction to trauma, based on the level of hysterics they're displaying, or not at all.
What’s that crazy manic symbol you put Lol
😂😅
This is why my wife and I work opposite schedules so we are the only ones who watch our children.
That is what me and my husband did too. I just could not put a baby or young child in daycare. Doesn't feel right.
Everyone makes excuses for their kids being cared for by strangers. Good for you. My sisters both have their kids in daycare. The one sister and her husband work from home lol. I can't even believe they do it. See their kids 1 hour before day care in am. Then 2.5-3.5 hours at night. 3-4 hours a day they see their kids . lol . While, yes that's how we were raised but i prefer seeing my kids. They want to put careers first I suppose
My parents did the same thing. One of them was always with us. The rare time that anyone else watched us, it was my Grandma.
@@kenw2225 a lot of parents are single parents and have to work and not everyone is blessed to have a village of people they trust. So daycare is their only option. Stop being judgemental and just offer your condolences. Also why don't you offer to watch your niece or nephew?!?! Oh it's because you're a sorry excuse for a sister
Some people don’t have that luxury
My niece's daughter (my great niece) died at her daycare at 7 months old, 5 days before Christmas last year. Unsafe sleep related. No charges were brought against the daycare owner. It's absolutely heartbreaking. My thoughts and my prayers go out to the family of this baby boy. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
I'm so so sorry.... shame on those workers. Prayers to your family as well.
OMG. That is horrific.
My prayers go out to this family and your family also. All death is hard, but that of infants and children is an unbearable feeling. 😢
Bring your own justice. Get the responsible person and.... y t won't let me say this.
@@Zeng-rv9mv they let you say it lol
The fact she's so calm when they come to arrest her just screams she knew it was coming.
And when the police told the daughter that her mother was going to jail, she was like “ok” like she was expecting it.
And the daughter.
She almost held her hands out to be arrested she definitely knew it was coming
Sociopathic woman?
@@SchiffonI don't see that from her. What I see is maybe pint up aggression and anger and she is taking it out defenseless innocent babies.
The mom running to the ambulance made me have a visceral reaction. How incredibly sad. That had to be the worst day of her life.
Me too! This whole video shook me! 😢
I thought the same 😢
Broke my heart for her 😢😔😭
Me too. So sad.
but then she is so calm listening to the cop and how it happened😐
It’s as if the idea is about how her child got a bruise and didn’t die. This is such a strange reaction for the mother of a dead baby 🙄
Was she not sleepchecking him?? I'm am infant daycare provider and we are supposed to sleep check every 10/15 minutes on top of safe sleep. This is sickening and could've been avoided!
she was beating on the kids.
Same here- we check every 15 minutes, and the ratio is one teacher to four students under the age of 2 (in Wisconsin)
This is exactly why I do not put my infants in daycares… especially AT HOME daycares 🤦🏽♀️ smh… monsters are everywhere ….
I don't have any empathy for someone who abuses children like this.
Right! None at all.... My heart breaks for the mother and father... 😢
Did I miss something? She put the baby down in the wrong position, on his stomach. So that was murder?
@@donnagelina8548 yeah im trying to figure that out too
@@jescovideoYeah i'm not understanding either
You must have really high standards.
The fact the daycare provider isn't crying or upset 😔 ..... RIP sweet baby Charlie ❤
Her demeanor is chilling.
That bothered me as well she was acting like the baby had gas - like a child has passed I would be so upset..
I would be inconsolable! I wouldn’t be able to even answer questions! 🤬
Right, because shock doesn't exist.
@@DASOMILITIA
Yeah it was all about how it's going to reflect on her 😡. 10:09
The look on the parents’ faces when they returned to the scene is heart breaking
@@kathleenodonnell2206 you don’t know the exact situation they’re in just because they drive a nice car. They obviously cared deeply for their child and you implying that this tragedy is at least partially their fault is disgusting.
@@kathleenodonnell2206imagine blaming his parents. That’s sick
She doesn’t act surprised when she’s arrested and neither did her husband or daughter.
That’s true but maybe cause she told them what she did or maybe they though the whole incident was an accident since the police didn’t suspect anything until the next day
She knows what she did. And the husband and daughter saw it coming. She’s abused the other kids before.
Rest in peace Charlie, your time was short but the world was blessed to have you.
Ur a sweet person!
😔😢😭💔
The daycare worker is strangely calm and unemotional for someone who has just had a baby die while under their care.
You don't know what she is feeling.
@@wanaraz are you seriously defending her?
@@wanarazShe feels nothing. She’s evil.
@@wanarazprobably a psychopath or ur right maybe her heartbeat going nuts per minute
Right?! If I were in her shoes, I would be inconsolable. It would be such a horrific thing to find a dead baby. That afternoon would literally be the worst moment of my life. To be questioning yourself on whether your actions could have influenced the outcome.. Only a guilty person acts like she did. It seemed like just another day at work for her and it was an inconvenience to have to deal with
Honestly there is something to be said about lack of maternity leave in the US. It’s not normal for a 4 month old to be separated from mom. Then, the ratio caregiver-children seem way too high. It should be 1:4 for babies. 1:5 for toddlers.
after a child dies because of her neglect... she has the nerve to ask if she is closed. WOW
It’s disgusting that she’s crying for herself when she realizes she has to tell the other parents, but she didn’t shed a tear over the baby. Evil walks among us.
My cousin diagnosis
Right. That’s so scary. She’s a mother herself and felt no sympathy that the baby she cared for was killed by her hands. No sympathy for the mother that was losing her child
Yes you are evil.
My sentiments exactly
She didn't know the baby was dead yet
The fact that her daughters immediate reaction was “is she in trouble, is she going to jail” is very telling about how her daughter and her family know the kinda person she is/was to these children.
Eh I see what you mean but she could also assume that if something happens that has several cruisers outside that she’s in trouble, ya know
she got 30 years for putting the baby on her stomach rather than back. Hardly the signs of a daughter who thinks that of her mum.
daughter knew mom did something! Sorry but that woman is a POS!
She exhibit the typical sociopathic pathology.
@@kittencatlover156 Is THAT what you learned from this video? You THINK the woman got 30 years for simply putting the child on his stomach instead of his back? DID YOU EVEN WATCH THE VIDEO! Evidently, the woman flung the baby onto the floor as she was holding him by his one arm and the baby landed on his head and the momentum of his weight after he flipped over snapped his little neck!
This is an at home daycare? I would NEVER feel safe leaving my child there!! My heart is broken for this mother. Im in tears.
A room with no windows. No emotion from the woman. And how many babies did she have each day? Poor mother and family! My heart breaks for her.
To think that the mother of that baby carried him in her stomach longer than he was alive on Earth is heartbreaking.
I never thought of that, it’s so sad and heartbreaking 💔 😢
This perspective really hurts
He was still alive in the womb.
@@hellenicboi14 No one's giving you attention in real life, huh?
@@breezluize3282 You left a public comment and I replied to it. If you can't handle that then maybe the internet isn't for you.
I use to be a daycare worker and those children are so precious and innocent, you have to have real patience and genuine love to do this type of job. When I had my own child, I stayed home for 2 years because I knew she wouldn’t receive the type of care and attention she needed at daycare. I feel sad for the parents and hope they find peace.
You are what a mother is supposed to be not like the monster that gave birth to and raised me.
I could not let my first baby go to anyone to babysit for me until I could go back to work she was already 1 and only close families. 😢this is heartbreaking, life is unfair.
Yet mothers get pushed into work by the government for more taxes! I stayed home with all 3 of my kids. We never had fancy cars or holidays but it was worth it.
@@samsara-summermooncomehome5881I have a 3 month old and I have to go back to work. They only gave me 3 month of parental leave starting a few days after I gave birth .
Absolutely heartbreaking! Sometimes a mother has to work; she should be able to trust her caregivers to be kind and competent.
AS A MOTHER THAT HAS LOST A CHILD AND 2 GRAND CHILDREN, NO MATTER WHAT THEIR AGE, THIS IS A PAIN THAT IS UNDISCRIBABLE. THIS IS A PAIN THAT LITERALLY FLOODS THE VERY DEBTH OF YOUR SOUL AND STAYS PLANTED UNTIL YOU TAKE YOUR VERY LAST BREATH.
LORD HELP THIS MOTHER, THIS POOR MOTHER WOULD HAVE GIVEN HER PRECIOUS BABE HER VERY LAST BREATH 🥀
This comment broke me down into tears. I cannot imagine the pain you have felt. I am so so sorry, nobody deserves this kind of pain. This caretaker is another kind of evil.
@@yerawizardjimmeh809 🥀
I don’t have kids, I was never really a kid person. But man, if someone else’s child out of my care, I would be absolutely beyond devastated. Devastated. Why is she so calm that lady. Seeing that poor mom trying to find her child actually made me cry. So sad
those poor parents, i can't imagine having this happen after trusting someone with your child
That's why you shouldn't leave a newborn in some strange lady's home daycare. Work is not that important that you need to go back to work and leave a newborn with people you really do not know. It's crazy. This happens far too often.
@queenie.lawyergirl.pittymom unfortunately some don't have the luxury to stay at home due to work otherwise they would get fired and won't be able to provide for their kids especially single parents. Sad but it's the harsh reality
Don’t be a single parent then lol
It’s hard man ; dats all I kan say 💯 don’t be so judgmental, I didn’t plan to be a single mother . Things happen ; they look one way one minute and different the next , the best thing I kan say is plan ahead . I sacrificed working since my son has been born ; it’s been hard kuz all I wanna do is stack up and spoil my son , but his safety comes first I have to stay home wit him 24/7 I Know the good LORD will Bless me 😌♥️👌🏽
@@queenie.lawyergirl.pittymomthats very privileged of you to blame the victims. Absolute weirdo
I have always felt bad for parents who have to use daycares. I never trusted anyone with my kids.
Same, I could never after seeing so many innocent children hurt by seemingly normal women, men. I feel for those hardworking moms and dads and to the good daycare workers who have their profession tainted by these monsters. Even in my hometown there have been reports of parents finding their children placed in cribs for hours on end, and leaving older children that take care of the younger ones. I couldn't place my trust in anyone after seeing some of these stories come out.
I agree, radical feminism has destroyed the idea of childcare for many. Many mothers are forced to work in order to eat.
Ya... my sister is terrified, she's a first time mom and her maternity leave is almost done. She's not ganna have a choice. Even if you get references and throughly investigate the daycare before you send the kid, its still a gamble 😢
@@eruditeeremite72891st and 2nd wave feminists were really important... but this new wave is an absolute joke. Sometimes I think we should just send all the radical feminists to Afghanistan 😂... give them something real to complain about!
I have Never had a Babysitter or Daycare for my 2 daughters. I was in daycare when I was little. That's a big Nope!!
This is terrifying. That house is lovely; everything is clean; the environment is beautifully decorated and seems like a childhood wonder land. No red flags that would cause a parent to suspect the evil that resides there. 😢
Man. Seeing that mother running to the ambulance made me feel sick to my stomach. Seeing stuff like this makes me not want to have children. I don't think I would be able to handle it if something were to happen. I feel so bad for the parents.
If a child died in my care i would be inconsolable. This woman was completely unmoved . Terrifying 😢
Agreed it's sociopathic
She only cried when she realized she had to tell the other parents.
Im not defending the woman's actions, but you cant use an emotional response (or lack of one) as intent or presumed guilt. We all respond to things differently.

I own my own home daycare…. her level of calm is absolute insanity. But, I truly believe that infants belong with their parents. My daycare kids are MY kids.😭😭😭😭
Shes not the least bit surprised they came back and arrested her. Which says it all right there
This is why I stopped babysitting years ago. I had one little boy who would hold his breath until his lips turned blue. His parents said yeah, he does that when he gets mad. I said well you need to find another sitter. That shyt scared me so bad I never wanted to babysit again.
I agree so acary but sadly so common for young ones!
I know that’s right. Baby he gotta go else where with all that
Fo real lol

Bad parenting.
Almost hit my knees when I saw the mom running to the ambulance this should have never happen!

30 years in prison. For a child that was taken away from life. An will never even see 30. Wow!! So sad. Prayers for that sweet babys family! May he R.I.P.
The fact that she came out the house and put her hands in cuff position. She was so calm. She knew what it was. And her kids and husband knew too. Her daughter was almost awkward about the fact that they told her
Wow...my mom had a daycare for 18 years and had a 1 month old pass away at our house from SIDS. I was a little girl when it happened. I came home from school to an ambulance outside. My mom was an absolute mess. She actually didnt come out of her room for weeks after it happened. This woman giggles and has no emotion whatsoever. That is not normal.
Heartbreaking 💔 but also heartbreaking someone put their baby in childcare at 1 month old!
So sorry for your mom, that's tough. And ya this woman seems off.
@@zsofiathompson7501 some parents have no other choice because of working. at least they found someone to watch their baby instead of leaving them with anyone
Hmmm 🤔 🧐
@@angeles959Parental leave in the US seriously needs an overhaul. It's so depressing hearing stories of babies being left in daycare at months old, because there's basically no other option. When I had my baby, I had 2 weeks of vacation/pto saved up, after that I was on my own. Sure, because of FMLA, they "guaranteed" I still had a job after spending an entire 12 WEEKS with my baby. I wasn't fired, but didn't get paid outside of that 2 weeks I had saved up from years at this clinic.
This is exactly why the United States needs to make maternity leave longer than just three months, as a mother myself I think it’s ridiculous that we have to return to work so quick.
Agreed, very few companies offer a long term leave
Yes it should be at least a year.
In Sweden, I think parents get 4 or 5 years.
As a mother for a 3rd time I agree. I have never taken any of my girls to day care. Their dad works in the morning and I work nights. It’s hard but I know they are 100% safe with us. The world is rotten 💔
@@Bluelilly40no they don’t you literally made that up. 480 days is the max and you have to apply for that through the government. Why spread misinformation that’s so easily fact checkable?
I am so blessed to have had my mother to watch my kids from their infancy to the start of kindergarten. Never had to worry about their care because she was such a loving woman and she loved and adored her grandchildren. Wish she was here to meet her first grandson because when she left this earth, she only had 6 girl granddaughters. Missing her everyday!❤ 😢
Lucky . My mom doesn’t have any maternal bones in her body I would trust her to watch my son even if she paid me …
Are you allowed to let a 4 month old sleep face down?! WTF
No... I worked in a couple different daycares all by the same agency. Every single one I worked at we had to complete a safe sleep lesson. Also when you have kids nurses talk to you about safe sleep... This lady had no excuse for doing that.
The fact that the defendant isn't upset about the baby and that her daughter immediately asks if her mother is in trouble tells it all.
The cop told her that her mother was fine. People need to stop being simple minded. Leave her out of it.
yeah she showed 0 emotion for anything ralated to the baby and then completely broke down at the thought of having to close her daycare for a couple days. very strange and the daughter was definitely sus too for what she asked. if i saw tons of cops my first thought wouldn't be that someone at my house was in trouble i'd be worried that they were hurt or a kid got hurt
@@lexir7504 100 percent. when the daughter runs up asking "is she in trouble" tells the whole story. they know how she treats these kids.
That’s exactly what I thought!! One of the daughter’s first questions was, ‘Is my Mom going to jail?’
@@lexir7504I think that if my child was in a daycare where a child died, I would take my child out of there the same day.
This is why paid maternity/paternity leave/child care leave is crucial for the first year and a half of a childs life and safety. Parents need to take care of their babies without worrying if they will be fired or dismissed, remote working for many jobs is a strong possibility and reduced hours , especially in major corporations.... So many of these accidents happen, and we still refuse to fix it.
Had to correct and fix a few things because people online are Literalists. PLEASE don't forget an innocent life has been lost in all of this, so keep your words kind when offering your point of view.
Condolences to the family. ❤
We need to return to a single income system. Both parents are not meant to work.
@@NickP771 exactly!!!
@NickP771 wow in this economy?! Not likely, but we have great examples in 1st world countries in Europe that already have a system that works. Why not take their model and make it work in America?!
@@seemenow8603 their system "works" because they are small homogenous nations (for now) and don't need to spend on militaries because the US covers most of it. Also we know that government services always degrade over time as they expand their mission and balloon their beaurocracy so it's only a matter of time before those programs fall apart.
I find this to be a stronger argument for abortion being legal,safe and frequent.
As a former nanny, when I hear cases like this my mind is just blown. The whole purpose is to provide and protect these children… what an evil monster
She never cared for the baby that passed in her care only at the thought of having to talk to the other parents and how her life would soon change, says alot about the kind of person she is. Prayers to the parents that lost their baby boy may God be with them. ❤
“No shock advised” broke me 😢🥺💔 I take CPR classes annually and to hear that baby cannot be helped is devastating
Same here 😢😢😢 just heart and gut wrenching!
How did the machine know not to shock him?
"No shock advised" doesn't necessarily mean the patient is gone. The "No shock advised" message will also occur if a pulse is detected. Either way, it's terrible what happened to that baby. The poor mom running up to the ambulance was heartbreaking :(
@lbpalexcool1 The machine is looking for the heart to send out a pulse or an electrical stimulation to need help starting again. This allows the people helping to know if there is still nervous signals in the body and no pulse or there is now a pulse so no shock needed.
It's called asystole your heart has absolutely no electrical rhythm. There are certain rythems that the and won't let you shock. So the machine basically said that young child was dead. There was nothing that was gonna bring him back. I have had asystole save through cpr but maybe 2 out of 1000. And I only have maybe 8 or 10 saves total. Most of the time they wait for their loved one to be to far gone to be saved. And the rest are young people having heart attacks and drug overdoses.
The woman's tears were not for the loss of the precious baby who died because of her irresponsible ways, but rather for the judgment of others on her situation. This is truly disturbing. My heart goes out to the family of the baby, may they find the peace they deserve. 🙏🏾
Close but I don’t think it’s the judgement as much as losing all that business
Prayers for the family 💕 May they find peace in Jesus through this devastating loss
@@victorianeal9369amen 🙏🏽
You don’t know this…… everybody handles death differently, both her and the parents were clearly in SHOCK . 14:21 parents were not in tears.
@drshin9893 the nursery was creepy. Not a good vibe at all
Seeing the mom run just broke my heart oh baby, Charlie what an adorable, sweet baby face. I am so sorry you were hurt and taken from your family. What a beautiful, baby boy I cannot even imagine. So many prayers are with the mother.
Need mandatory licensing for all childcare workers!! Not 10 min online, but actual 1-2 year certified program, required to pass & take licensing exams.
If teachers have to have 4 years college, then this is least we should require for childcare workers responsible for infants.
The place has to be licensed and they are strenuous rules & requirements to be the owner of a daycare. Unfortunately though there are bad people in every profession.
This woman is just way to calm for a child to have died under her care. If that were me, I’d be freaking out. I’d be hysterical. GUILTY, written all over this. 😱😢
Lack of empathy, maybe a sociopath
ur cringe
I mean, shock could be a factor (if she was innocent) but that usually wears off and this was unchanging. It’s just unnerving how she acts
Completely agree
I babysit my 4mo old niece about 25hrs a week. I take that responsibility incredibly seriously and I would be *inconsolable and bawling* if anything happened to her, let alone something I was responsible for.
This woman has no heart. She didn't start crying until they told her she had to close down her daycare, ugh! 😤
As a 49 year old male of 2 kids I always felt blessed I owned my own company and took my kids to work. Never ever did I have anyone babysit except for grand parents. Why cause I know my parents did amazing with me. Prayers for the mother this is heartbreaking
Me too, man, me too. It's hard enough letting them go to school.
@ericjmasters nobody cares
You do you, Mr Doo Doo 💩
I’m poor as a cup of water and I ain’t taken my kids to daycare either it ain’t bout money it’s about your standards and how you want you children raised who you want them around etc..
You're 49 years old?! You don't look it! I am 36 years old and have two children. I'm lucky that my extended family is able to watch them when I'm in need.
The mom didn't have the reaction I thought she would have during the cop's demonstration of what happened to her baby.
I’m so grateful that my father was retired when my son was a baby, he watched him everyday we had to work, and my best friend looks after my 2 nieces for my sister. This is absolutely horrific 😢😢
I worked in a daycare for years. I absolutely loved my job. HOW COULD U EVER HURT A BABY . This makes me sick ;( I'm so sorry to the parents of these children!!!!
Same. I worked as a nursery nurse for years in my late teens, I can’t imagine ever hurting or risking the safety of a defenceless baby or child. The trust and responsibility the parents place on you is immeasurable, to not carry that with the greatest of care and compassion just isn’t an option 💔
She didn't intend to kill the infant, she is just ridiculously irresponsible...
@kylecook7503
Huh? Why even defend her behaviour that caused the de@th of a little baby?
She wasn't even the baby's mother & suffering from postnatal depression/ psychosis.
So no excuse.
Smh.
@@WholeWhiteBabythat’s what I am trying to figure out. Did she throw him? Is that what killed him? What did he pass from? Was it instant ? Wish there were more details
@@sassysucculent6291 look up sudden infant death syndrome. its negligence on part of the daycare owner
If a child died in my care, I would be absolutely inconsolable. Even if it was a complete accident, it would ruin me for the rest of my life. Now, everyone does react differently to horrible news. I recognize that. But she seemed more concerned about what the parents would think of HER when having to call and tell them that there was an emergency and they'd have to come get their kids, than she was concerned about the baby who died. I cannot imagine the pain the family must be going through. You don't get over something like this. I can't bear to think about it.
And her daughter’s immediate reaction wasn’t if she was safe it was if she was getting arrested or not.
@@ashleyduckworthyt3224 I noticed that too. I’m like why would she immediately think she’s in trouble?
@@ShesAbsurd because her mom owns the childcare and thats a lot of liability. She came and all she saw are a bunch of cops and news that a baby died. I think its normal for her to be worried about whats going to happen to her mom or if her mom would be held liable even if she didnt cause the death (hypothetically i mean)
Exactly!
She only got emotional when she had to face the parents. Sad
I was a daycare teacher, i used to cry in my car daily as I had a child who would bite his hands until he drew blood... if i had a child who was unresponsive id be completely devastated
As a parent this is heartbreaking! The pain that mother was going through is unimaginable
In the late 1980s my brother and I were in a daycare run by an elderly woman in our town. She was horribly abusive to us both. I was locked in her bedroom with the lights off and forced to lay in her bed with the sheets around me tucked tight under the mattress and was told not to move until lunch time. If I whined bc I had to go to the bathroom she would scream at me to shut up. At lunch she forced us to watch the game show The Price is Right and then I was put back into the bedroom, no lights, until 30 min before my father picked us up. My brother was forced to sit in a wooden chair facing the wall all day and was smacked with something that looked like a long glue stick if he “misbehaved “. We were always threatened that if we told our parents we would be in huge trouble so we never said anything. They only found out bc I stopped bringing my bag of toys and asked me why I wasn’t bringing them, and being a kid not thinking I said what’s the point since I don’t get to play with them. I instantly started bawling my eyes out bc I thought I would be punished. My mother forced me to tell her everything and I never saw that lady again. My parents never went to the police but they should have.
To this day I cannot stand seeing ANYTHING that has to do with the show The Price is Right and the music makes me want to have a full on panic attack. I have 3 kids and stay home with them.
Reminds me of my own experience back in the days, but it was somewhere in 90s
I still remember being locked in a huge bedroom and I had nothing to do. The windows had window blinds so it was dark and depressing, at least sometimes I was locked in with some random mates.. still was boring
Wow😢..I could never imagine any of my loved ones going through this. What's done in the dark always comes out in the light. I agree though, that your parents should have got the authorities involved. Glad you're ok. ❤❤❤
I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m glad you are able to stay at home with your children.
When they came to arrest her she knew… she knew she was guilty… sickening. When will this country wake up and value family over work. We need longer PAID maternity leave, better resources for families to receive safe and affordable care who do need to work. Heartbreaking
Or just actually take care of your kids
I know people think that every business owner grows money on trees but it just doesn't work like that. Yeah, there are many massive corporations who could provide better insurance and benefits to their employees but there even more who can't afford to do that. The sad part is that the companies who can't give more are usually the ones who would be willing to do more.
@kenstone5531 Then maybe you should reevaluate where you live? If you made 2k monthly with two children in my region of the USA, you'd be doing pretty well for yourselves.
@@SoggySlopster How do they do that without longer paid maternity leave?
it seems wrong to me to get paid when you dont work. especially because you sorta chose to do so....its like basically someone else is paying you to raise a child 😅 each to their own though but i come from a different culture and this concept is very alien to me and doesnt make sense
Hickey didn't check on him for more than two hours before finding him covered in vomit and not breathing. She initially told investigators that she put the baby down on his back, in line with state regulations, but that the child rolled over onto his abdomen. Security video, showed Hickey actually placed the infant facedown.
Video showed her swinging other babies by their feet, slamming them into the ground, pulling their hair, pushing and tripping toddlers, and placing others in unsafe positions for sleep, prosecutors said. The victims ranged in age from 6 to 18 months.
She plead guilty Sept. 22 to seven counts of first-degree child cruelty, seven counts of reckless conduct, one count of second-degree child cruelty and three counts of battery. Hickey entered an Alford plea, which allows a person to maintain her innocence while acknowledging that it is in her best interest to plead guilty to charges of second-degree murder and second-degree child cruelty related to Cronmiller's death.
😢So sorry for the mom and family. Thats horrible and just evil. Poor baby.
She keeps giggling while the officer asks her questions. How disgusting. A child just died or at least to her knowledge is fighting for his life and she’s laughing. She’s beyond guilty.
Maybe she is nervous as well 😢😢
The mom did too who was being shown how the baby died
She did not lough 😅because the baby died😢.
Watch again the 📹 🎥.
She is also 😲 and in dilemma. check the kids before there parents hand them too you.
If they are sick don't allow a sick child in daycare let there parent's take care of them.
I can't a day care with kids under 1 year old.😢
I think her daughters first words being "is she in trouble" says a lot about the kind of person she is. her own daughter automatically assumed she had done something malicious to an infant.
Awkward hug from husband too... like he'd never done it before! 😮😮
Never judge a mother for leaving her career to stay home with her babies. We stay home to prevent things like this. Unfortunately, some caretakers just don’t have common sense…. RIP sweet baby this is so unfortunate and devastating.
I 100% respect mothers who choose to take a break and stay home especially for the first few years.
That's what it always been but my generation Z is switching up their roles. It's sad to see
@kaecake9575 Thank you for seeing that. It's refreshing to know not everyone in your generation is lost.
Some caretakers just don't care, sadly.
@vengefulbeauty I see it more as a societal problem. The last few generations have been raised largely by parents who invested money rather than time in their kids and it shows.
This is so sad, at 4 months old you're beginning to see your baby's personality and interact with them... 💔
Heartbreaking seeing the mother run after the ambulance like that my prayers go out to her and the family
How heartbreaking!!!! This is exactly why I’m happy I’m able to be a stay at home mom. Mothers and dads shouldn’t ever have to worry about this!!!!
Im British, We have extensive maternal and paternal leave. A 4 month old would be with either; up to their 1 year birthday. I am so sorry for the Mum and Dad. RIP x
@@cn4936 1year? I got 6 weeks of unpaid leave. And I was told I was lucky they help my spot until I could come back.

@@7fpsmarvin better than losing it ALl..... sorry bro that's being a mom, and that time is precious and every parent pretty much misses that time when it's gone. Now this mother and father will never have that time again for what?? A few more dollars? Our grandparents did it without a second thought... Now look at the kids today quite a difference... This generation is lost.
@@7fpsmarvin - They've been doing it for millennia, something we as a society have failed to show appreciation for - how vital a roll the stay at home mom plays.
I don't understand how one person has so many babies in her care and I can't handle all those little ones crying.
she was only supposed to have 6 but they found out she had 12
Cause she’s greedy & wants $$. There’s NO WAY anyone could provide quality care w/ that many kids.
Even the 1 to 5 and 1 to 6 ratio for infants and toddlers that the state requires. I feel like it’s too much babies and toddlers for one person. I believe all daycares should have a assistant checking in and helping with babies and toddlers. Most daycares and child care centers like this lady is greedy and only care for money and that’s it.
@@Nashae-kz5bcI agree. It is as if they think babies just need feeding and changing but not human interaction.
Greed
My heart goes out to this family. I'm in tears. My son is currently 4 months old. I can't even imagine what his mom went through and continues to go through. My heart and prayers are with this family
Woah. As a former licensed daycare provider, I watched this carefully and at first I looked like just some negligence. The end was shocking! I once had a baby lethargic and struggling to breathe during naptime and thank god I checked on them every 15 minutes as required because he was having a severe asthma attack and we got him to the ER and he was doing well shortly after some treatments. We were all shaken up, it was terrifying!
No excuses!
Parents who send their kids to daycare are LOSERS! Absolute L O S E R S
Wouldn't anyone check every 15mins (actually I'd say every minute for a baby not breathing properly!!!) When you say 'thank God..." I don't really understand that comment?
Are you saying that normally you would not check every 15mins (??) on a baby struggling to breath?
What you said doesn't make sense.
1. You wouldn't thank a God, you'd merely use common sense, or to be a bit more relevant, a LICENCED day-care provider, would be *expected* to check a baby every minute, if the baby showed signs of breathing difficulties. To tell you the truth: I would have called the parents immediately and NEVER left the baby for any of those 15minte (multiple?) intervals.
"Severe asthma attack' ? Why would you leave a baby for 15mins ever for this?
Something is missing in your post. Because what you wrote any caring person would have known better. What you wrote shows someone WITHOUT due care! Plus it bothers me when you say thank God (which claimed God?) because I'm very concerned you are thanking your believed in God!!! Did your God hate the baby in this vid? I mean I hope you were using that in a colloquial manner? I expect you were just using a term of English? Because we DON'T thank a God, we EXPECT a licenced Daycare provider has a minimum understanding of human care of a baby! Your post is below standard on what any parent would expect of you.
That’s horrifying and scary. Thank God you were present and attentive to the babies needs.
@@kimsland999 Quite the high horse for someone with such low reading comprehension. They discovered the troubled breathing BECAUSE they did checks every 15 minutes. So your entire rant about God and whatever was completely pointless.
Daughter knew right away what her mom was doing when she asked if she was going to jail straight away.
The mom running towards the ambulance and the sound she made was absolutely heartbreaking.
The way the daughter came home asking a few times if her mom was in trouble told me all I needed to know.
One person watching ALL those infants at one time? The stress for mother's to have to work is making us do things that make no sense
Yes!! I couldn't imagine putting a three or four month old baby in daycare
@@clarezajac3276my first was in daycare at 10 weeks. Maternity leave in US military is 6weeks. You work until the babe comes out then you get 6 weeks regardless of vaginal or c-section surgery.

so many prayers for this sweet baby’s family. i can’t even imagine the immense pain they will feel for the rest of their lives. watching mama sprinting to the ambulance almost brought me to tears. 💔
I don't think its 'unbothered'. I think its shock and absolute fear, and later resignation/mental exhaustion. Her whole life is over. I mean, I'm not justifying her, I haven't seen the evidence against her yet (still watching the video). But I don't think she's so stiff because she's unbothered.
@@mistyblackfoot3848 You're correct. People either go into hysterics or go into shock. She's definitely behaving like she's in shock, which is normal. The brain protects us by shutting down emotion and disassociating, People sometimes judge that but it's ignorance to how the body's response occurs at time of tragedy.
@mistyblackfoot3848 well you don't get second degree murder charges for nothing. She did something very bad.
Being charged does not mean being guilty. @@Nope-s

Cant speak for her but people have different ways of dealing with stuff and maybe she though he could have been brought back. When I was a emt student my first time I gave cpr in the er of the hospital. Everyone did what they could but the woman didnt make it. I felt really bad while in the room but as soon as I walked out of the room I shrugged it off for the most part. Kids are worse for me though.

Because she killed the baby.
You’re saying the woman watching him was never shown to have fault for it then? Like a case of SIDS? Because initially that’s what I thought this case was.
@@user-kb7sl6cz6s SIDS isn’t real.
It’s because she’s a P.O.S. Who cares about the paychecks coming from the children. Not being a caregiver. It’s disgusting she was in charge on multiple young children, has one die on her watch, and still believes she’s able to care for the others. I.e will she still receive a paycheck for the other children
@@user-kb7sl6cz6s yeah that’s what I’m trying to understand as well. According to this video, she put the baby down on its stomach which she wasn’t supposed to do and didn’t check on him for two hours. Then they describe her being rough with another child. Her own daughter obviously loves her and has a good relationship, so what made her become so reckless/careless with other children?
The fact they arrested her days later and even let her say bye to her family and get a jacket before she leaves!!!! Unbelievable!! How's that fair. 😒
It’s because they’re cUntry bumpkin trump supporters.
This is one example of why mothers need to stop their career and care for her own children.
